Abstract

At least one electrode pad is formed above the surface of a semiconductor substrate. A multilevel interconnection configuration is formed between the electrode pad and the semiconductor substrate. The multiple levels of interconnections in the multilevel interconnection configuration are insulated from one another by an insulating film of low dielectric constant. A dummy interconnection configuration is formed at least within the insulating film around the periphery of the electrode pad.
